Was thinking whether he'd get a gig for SA. Maybe ahead of Prince or Amla, but in the current selectorial climate he'd probably be competing with the white players only (not saying that's right, but it's the realpolitik of the situation) and I'd have to have Smith, Kallis & de Villiers in front of him.

Plus now it'd be 4 years til he could turn out for SA anyway.
